Elbow sleeves

[desertstormvet]

I have been having issues with my elbow, just part of getting old i guess. So does anyone use a compression sleeve during your discing rounds? And which sleeve works best for you? I was thinking about getting one they use for bowling but not sure if it would work best or one of the copper fit ones? Any suggestions would be be helpful, thanks.

IDK if they help, man, but here is Philo wearing one (talks about it briefly) in 2012

Check out any cycling website or shop. "arm warmers" or sleeves are common in the cycling world.

This is similar to what I use:

Stick to something elastic, avoid neoprene if at all possible. Neoprene gets hot and sweaty quickly.

How tight you want to go will depend on how badly your arm hurts. I prefer light compression that still allows me my full range of motion, but I have a tighter brace for when I feel my tendinitis coming back.

Copperfit is overpriced. Copper does nothing, just provides an excuse to charge more. The compression is what helps your arm not to hurt.

This is what I used until I realized I was strong arming my drives, and it stopped hurting after I corrected that.

I used the EvoShield Compression Arm Sleeve for a while, when I was was having some pain in my elbow. Seemed to work well. I no longer use it, since the pain has gone away for the most part. I do keep it in the bag just in case.

tennis elbow?


I've had remarkable luck using a flex bar

I got a tommy copper medium size knee compression sleeve at walgreens for $10, that I use on my arm when my tennis elbow is acting up. They definitely help keep the swelling down during a round, which is the main reason, I think, that makes my arm sore.

I use these when it's worse: http://www.amazon.com/McDavid-Elast...25242664&sr=8-1&keywords=mcdavid+elbow+sleeve

These when it's better: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00CO...SX110_SY165_QL70&keywords=mcdavid+compression

Mostly in the winter, I get bad tendinitis from the heavier spey casting rods. And throwing hits some of those same sore spots. They help. As does cleaning up form and working on snap.

These both help though. Legitimately.

I know this is about sleeves, but Puckstopper said it best, use something elastic. I would like to add, rest. I went through this issue and it only went away when I sidelined myself for 2 weeks. When you come back, wear the sleeve and also analyze your form.
